Cambodia to mark 67 years of Independence today

[geovalin]

Cambodia will celebrate the 67th anniversary of her independence from France today (1953-2020), under the royal presidency of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Boromneath Norodom Sihamoni, King of Cambodia. On the occasion, the monarch will light the “victory flame” at the Independence Monument in Phnom Penh, which will be kept burning for three days, and preside over a mass meeting in front of the Royal Palace.

 

High-ranking officials will participate in the ceremony with a crowd of Phnom Penh residents and students in attendance. Foreign Ambassadors to Cambodia are also expected to be present at the event.

 

Today, delegations from different government ministries and institutions will take turns to lay wreaths at the Independence Monument and the Royal Statue of the late King-Father Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk, located near the Independence Monument, to mark the Independence Day.
